My sister and her friends invited me out for dinner at the Petrol Hotel (funny name because it's owned by Petrovietnam) along the Saigon river. We chose some really good stir fried crabs with sweet and sour tamarind sauce, mango salad with prawn and spices, stir fried tofu with chilli and lemongrass, steamed squid dipped in ginger fish sauce and the last dish is the very special Dieu Hong fish. The crab was amazing because of the tamarind mixture with sweet sauce that suits the crab meat perfectly.
They also serve
BBQ here as well which are presented beautifully on banana leaves. Just choose what you want and cook it at your table.
The food was delicious in this very romantic place which is good for couples, groups of friends and family parties.
Wow! That is a very delicious meal you've got there. Wish I had spent my Special Day there.
